The use for the “realtime” priority for a process

cpureal time

In my experience, setting any process to realtime will make your computer slow down to a snails pace. What is the use of this setting, if it makes your computer unuseable?

Best Answer

Exactly what you describe, at the cost of slowing the rest of your computer down to a crawl it runs the process in real-time giving it a higher priority than everything else. This is only necessary for time-critical applications, most people don't see these in their daily life...
